The Goddess Valdís is Queen
of the World of Spirits. The Valkyrie are Her Daughters who call forth the
souls of the departed, chosen for Heaven - Valhalla, within Her Realm of
Asgard. I love the Norse Tradition. I was brought up on Wagner’s Music, the Libretto
of ‘The Ring‘. When Odin appears as The Wanderer with a black patch over his eye,
which had been sacrificed for Truth - to the Norns - his theme music indicates
his divinity. So Wagner’s Valhalla Theme is the background for the poem!” The Wanderers, the Shaman
Gods and Goddesses are disguised in long black cloaks and hoods. If they pass
your way receive them with honour and offer them food and drink. You may be
tempted to ignore them for some worldly concern. If you do, in that case they
will never cross your path again! There are examples of cloaked Gods and
Goddesses from various traditions: Jupiter, Mercury, Buddha, the Dagda,
Cailleach, Angus Og, Odin, Taliesin, and Pele. The Goddess Pele appears as an
Old Woman and asks for cigarettes and a glass of water. Cailleach visits young
men in the guise of an ugly old hag and wish them to kiss her. If they do, she
magically transforms into a beautiful young woman! We have Buddha as the
Beggar, the beautiful Fairy Godmother who appears as an Old Hag with a humped
back. When the Gods and Goddesses do this they are ‘testing hospitality’ they
are measuring the receptiveness and worthiness of an individual. “It teaches
you to be polite to everybody you meet - for one never knows!”The Shaman tradition of
teaching through stories to human beings by Travellers extends from the
Americas, Siberia and the Celtic lands. The bearer of Truth, the teacher within
our old faery stories is always concealed! The Gods and Goddesses who traveled
within our world were cloaked; the Shamans who travel in the world of the
spirit, the realm of Gods and Goddesses also wear the cloaks. The Shamans used
singing, story and music to share Truth. They use rattles, drums, chants and
dance, they used pictures and glyphs drawn on rocks and in caves. They had
animals as guides. Shamanism was the earliest form of spirituality.

To awaken the soul, we must enter the Land of Spirit – the realm of Valdis. Do not fear the world of the unseen! It is one of joy
and kindness. Shadows form the Veil between Worlds, and fade in the light of
love - for all existences are joined in communion within a great cosmic spiral; permeating
all rainbow realms. This light brings the Gift of Valdis, the Sight of the Seer.On earth all lives and dies – this is
not the whole truth of existence – outside the physical all beings live
forever. Do not fear the ‘dead’ – they are alive in other
spheres! We do meet again, for the ‘living’ of this world may commune with the
‘dead’ of the other world, humans, animals, plants – even with those who do
not know death – angelic beings – everything that exists – separation
is ‘the’ illusion – in reality everything from deity to atom is joined, for all
are born of the Mother. The Great
Mother does not die, therefore they cannot.True Inner Vision
reveals within the earth a hidden sun, and like the earth, we each carry a star
within. We are truly Her children, each contains a Divine Spark –
a hidden, inner star –
we are all from the stars! Every
one is necessary and has purpose. We see our psychic centres joined by a current of
light which glow like coloured jewels. We feel love, we are whole –
holy. And the Mother tells us to continue to love, She tells us to believe in
beauty. She fills us with deep peace; there is nothing to fear, neither dying
or being born. We gaze into the hidden fire within the center of the earth, and
as we look, it changes – and it
becomes the flame of one candle – only
a candle. As we look we see a lot of people have candles, and to each of them,
their one candle is the light of Divine Spirit. Honoring their Mother, and this
Divine Spark within, many light a candle on their hearths or altars in Her
Name. Candles shine the world over, flames both ancient and young, born of the Goddess. Shining in the dark, we send out
light, healing and strength to all in need.
